Can I NOT romance Lawan or is it the inevitable part of the plot?

[El_Desenladrillador]

I know, you all just love that obligatory heterosexual romance moments, yep, but my question is: can I refuse to romance Lawan in game (in plotline), tell her that I don't like her, don't sit with her under stars without failing some quest, etc.?
Sure, the protagonist can choose to safe his sister in the ending and thus has Lawan disintegrated, but what about the way the story goes? Can I have her hate Aidan?
Please clarify.

There is no clear romance in this game. So even if you sit with her under stars, that changes nothing.

Okay, then why is everyone call the interactions between Aidan and Lawan 'romance'? Also, it's clearly stated in Lawan's ending that she's become Aidan's gf.

Ah, yep, forgot about this one, mentioned in the parent's raiting. This one can't be skipped too? I mean without refusing quest.

How is it clearly stated? I mean yes, she leaves the city with him, but it never say that she is your girlfriend, they are just friends and that's it. In the other ending you leave with Hakon, so he is your boyfriend just because he leaves with you? ;)

"...but he found someone else. Much closer." I read it as finding love interest, because what can be closer than family (that the protagonist was striving to find/save all this time) for a young guy? Girlfriend, obviously.
As for Hakon, I've never seen a single time anyone seriously said it was 'romance' with him (stupid trolls like the one calling names above doesn't count). Maybe it's just bad writing, idk, I've just seen people play the game on youtube and they always 'romance' Lawan and not always save Hakon.
Maybe it's just the fact that with male protagonist any adult female character that appears in game almost always eventually turns out to be his love interest as the story progresses (if she's not his wife already). Kinda 'Chekhov's female character', I'd say. Always there to become a girlfriend.
